Women from the Let’s Save Togo coalition called Sunday on all females in the country to refrain from sex for a week to force Togolese men into backing the group during their demonstrations.
Let’s Save Togo is an umbrella organisation of nine civil society groups and seven opposition parties and movements that has rallied to demand political reforms ahead of parliamentary elections due in October.
“We call on all women
to deprive their husbands of sex for a week from Monday,”.

For weeks, Togo has seen clashes between security forces and protesters who are demanding a delay in the coming October parliamentary elections, as well changes to the country’s electoral law, which they argued was passed without their input.
Isabelle Ameganvi, president of the National Alliance for Change party, which is part of the “Let’s Save Togo” coalition, said the Togolese women got their no sex protest idea from Liberian women during that country’s civil war.
“We want to fight as women of Liberia because when they started to do the sex strike, the men obliged to end the war and peace came back again in Liberia. That’s why we want to do the same thing in Togo to oblige the Togolese opposition to fight and end the system of oppression which has directed Togo for 16 years,” she said.
